TASTING NOTES
The only all-rosé appellation in the Rhone, a Tavel comes in many hues from light salmon to bright pink and is said to be the only rosé that can actually age and improve. The rosé wines of Tavel have a great historical reputation, having been favored by King Louis XIV in the 18th century, as well as famous authors, Balzac and Mistral.
This Tavel rosé has powerful, mineral-accented aromas of ripe red berries and citrus fruits joined by a suave, floral top note that builds in the glass. Sappy and concentrated on the palate, it offers fresh raspberry, bitter cherry and blood orange flavors and a hint of honeysuckle. The finish is long and precise delivering a strong mineral cut and a lingering florality. -Importer's Notes
